The Man Who Tasted Words: A Neurologist Explores the Strange and Startling World of Our Senses by Guy Leschziner
5.0
Very interesting!
It was not a science heavy book but I would not say I did not learn something from it. Humans are weird and that weirdness is varied. Also, if you start feeling strange symptoms you should get it checked out.
I want to also mention the audiobook narration. Mr Leschziner was a delight to listen to. There were some bits where you could hear him breathing in deeply through his nose or moving his hand close to his face and altering the way his voice sounded, that I just found to be so endearing. I know some people hate that but for me personally it made the listening experience more personal. It was less of a strict science book and more of a very cozy chat with an experienced doctor.
